Hello, guys. Happy New Year. Well, a month and 13 days late, but how are you guys doing? How's the first month of 2026 treated you? Good? I hope so.
          	
          	In any case, how am I doing? Well, you can say that I'm unemployed by the time I post this announcement. Nothing bad happened in my last job. I really did enjoy it, it's just that circumstances happened. In short, I'm living in a different country around the 3rd week of January. Don't worry about me, I'm living with my parents (father, step-mom, and step-siblings). So, I'm still looking for a job.
          	
          	I do have some homesickness, still missing my family relatives a lot, but we chat from time-to-time. And no, video calls are restricted here; in fact, there are a lot of restrictions here (if you know what country it is, congratulations ;P).
          	
          	Aside from that, what happened to the progress in AO3, well I kinda stopped, because you know, job, finding a job, etc., and all that. Do I feel the burnout? Maybe, so it's like semi-hiatus, like I post or write a story whenever I feel like it.
          	
          	Right now, I have a future story with this spoiler.
          	
          	Steel screamed against stone.
          	
          	The clangor echoed through the labyrinth chamber, reverberating through pillars carved with ancient glyphs. Sparks scattered in the dim light as a massive floating hand crashed down, narrowly missing the player who rolled away in panic.
          	
          	“RAAAAH!”
          	
          	A greatsword wielder roared and charged, activating a Sword Skill that painted the air in crimson arcs. His blade bit into the stone head hovering above the arena, cracking its surface—but the victory was short-lived.
          	
          	A second limb snapped forward.
          	
          	The impact sent the player flying across the floor. His HP bar plummeted to zero in a blink, and his avatar shattered into blue polygons, dissolving into nothingness.
          	
          	Respawn.
          	
          	Anyways, that's it. This post has almost reached 2,000 characters, so I'll stop at this one. Thank you all for reading this lengthy post, and stay safe out there.

Hello! I hope you’re doing well.I run a YouTube channel where I create audio versions of what-if My Hero Academia fanfiction, mainly centered around Deku. I wanted to reach out and ask if I could share your story on my channel as an audio adaptation.
          This would allow your work to reach a broader audience, especially those who prefer listening over reading. If you’re okay with this, I will fully credit you and include links to your original story in both the video and the description.
          Thank you for your time and consideration. I would love the opportunity to feature your story and look forward to hearing from you.

Me: *Seeing that I publish 6 parts IN MOBILE, whereas I only publish 2 parts in my new fanfiction story*
          
          Also Me: I'm just gonna ask anyone who sees this post to check my High School of the Dead fanfiction if it's published 2 or 6 parts or the WattPad app in my phone is screwing with my brain in the morning.

TheBlackLunatic

@rex103rex Thanks for checking the chapters. Now I know the WattPad app in my phone is screwing with me.

What’s the name of AO3

narukami35

 Can I get a link 
Balas

TheBlackLunatic

@narukami35 If you're referring to the literal AO3, it's Archive Of Our Own. However, if you're asking for my name in said website, its RedHalo
Balas

TheBlackLunatic

I have to unpublish my HotD fanfiction because either my eyes are tricking me or that I have 6 parts whereas I just have 2 parts. I'll have it publish back by tomorrow

TheBlackLunatic

@I_know_them_ships It will be on AO3 as well, but I decided to post the chapters here first.
Balas

I_know_them_ships

@TheBlackLunatic will it be on a03 or here? 
Balas

TheBlackLunatic

I can't believe to say this.
          
          I'm currently making a High School of the Dead Fan Fiction XD with a male original character of course XD

TheBlackLunatic

@Black_Legion2024 Thanks. I'll do my best, though.
Balas

Black_Legion2024

@TheBlackLunatic just I don't see the point when you’ve already Takashi. 
            Hotd and others series are flooded with self-inserts harems. shrugs
            Anyway good luck
Balas

Black_Legion2024

@TheBlackLunatic each time I see Hotd harem, it’s always self-insert, oc so not sorry but you’ve right

Hello, everyone.
          
          I know it's been a long since I last updated or post an announcement from this or from AO3 website, so I'll tell you briefly what's happened.
          
          My first job ended for five months last year, from April 1 to August 30, 2024, took a break a few days before looking for another company to work, which I have in November but delayed until mid-January, something about maxed out training room or some even have to let go from the said company I applied but it's in the past now for me.
          
          Training started from 4 pm to 1 am (in my place they call it mid-shift), so you can imagine me going home and went to sleep quickly and wake up around 1 pm after, not giving me time to do what I want, making/reading stories and playing games.
          
          Now, I transitioned and my schedule's 10 am to 7 pm, but another 2 hours because of me hitting the gym every work days, motivated to use the company's gym and reduce weight and looking physically okay for my height.
          
          Last I updated the rewrite of my MHA fanfic book is almost around 7 to 8 months, so I apologize for that.
          
          I'm still updating, just had to do life stuff. I don't know when I will publish, but I'm sure before the one-year hiatus, it will be posted.

TheBlackLunatic

@TheBlackLunatic Yeah, I'm okay. I'm slowly, and physically productive that's all.

@TheBlackLunatic yeesh man, I hope everything goes okay
